Abstract
The thermodynamic and structural properties of CeNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.7 5, LaNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75 and their hydrides (deuterides) are compar ed. The isothermal curves have been measured. The lattice parameters a nd the occupancies of the various interstitial sites by deuterium have been determined by powder neutron diffraction. Differences between th e two compounds as regards the hydrogen absorption are interpreted in terms of the different atomic radii of lanthanum and cerium. The evolu tion of the valence of cerium as a function of hydrogen content is dis cussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
